Right. M234 is the name assigned previously. You get the URI(s) of
available printer(s) by running the program driverless. E.g.:

root@dragon:~# driverless
ipps://HP%20LaserJet%20MFP%20M234sdw%20(C0FB67)._ipps._tcp.local/
root@dragon:~# 

Then feed that into:

lpadmin -p M234 -v "URI" -E -m everywhere

But edit in a better (for you) name for the printer than M234.

You might get away with something like:

lpadmin -p heskett.printer -v "$(driverless)" -E -m everywhere

but I haven't experimented with that.
